Not interested in such a fast turnover car, but maybe somebody else is looking.

The current owner's name suggests that he/she is a second generation owner. Perhaps he/she bought the generation one on a whim, to see if it stacked up to the later generations, since many of us here in M/A seem to brag up our R53 generation ones. I guess that our first generation GP did not satisfy the whim...

There will always be those willing to pay top money for a moniker but I am not one of them. No my car is not a GP but it handles better, accelerates faster, stops quicker and has more horsepower. Now if the factory would have made the GP so that it matched my performance it would be worth the money but a larger intercooler and tune along with some decals is not worth it.

Plus my car is a droptop and I did all the mods myself.

The GP intercooler was made available some years back. I got one for my S.

To address the extra heat generated by my 19% pulley ratio I have a Meth/Water Injection system. For street driving it will drop the intake temps by 50 degrees F. The standard OEM S intercooler is pretty good at heat dissipation as I did some logging before I put the Meth/Water in.

here's another GP - 7 owners put 22k miles on #1456. Makes you wonder why such a low mile car changed hands that often. I guess one could have used some BMW software to change that odometer. Given carfax reports more miles as last reading than the car shows...
